We've gathered some general information so we have all the information in one place and people don't have to keep asking the same things. Should there still be questions after reading this post, don't hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

The Stranded Forum

This forum is for questions which need a reply from Admins/Moderators. Members or Guests are NOT meant to reply. As much as we appreciate your input, this forum is not meant for chit chat. So please refrain from replying to people's questions. Thanks!

The Forums

Please try to post in the appropriate forums. The descriptions on the main forum page are quite clear and should help determine where to post.

The Fanclub

At this point in time there are no plans for a Fanclub, so there are no memberships available and no Fanclub presales. As soon as this situation changes you will be informed through our newsletter or the news items on redhotchilipeppers.com or the RHCP Facebook page. Occassionally we do offer presale options on our message board in the Happiness Loves Company Forum, so please keep checking back for special announcements.

Tour Dates

Please everybody stop asking about tourdates in your city, state, country, etc. If your city, state, country is not on our tourlist, it means it has either not been announced yet or there is no tourdate planned for that particular place -yet-. Asking for tour dates will not help, we do not have any other information than the dates on the tourpage. We understand the excitement, it IS exciting to go see the band, but please understand that certain information is only posted when final.

Keep checking the Happiness Loves Company Forum for contests! Please read the explanation carefully before entering the contests; quite a few people didn't and didn't win.

How can I obtain a backstage pass?

Unfortunately, backstage passes cannot be obtained. They are provided for working personnel and close friends/relatives of the band. The backstage is a working area and must be kept clear in order to run efficiently.

Can I take a camera to a show?

Small personal and disposable cameras are fine but professional cameras are not. Each venue has it's own policy and although we can tell them what is ok for us often times the venue is very strict about their own policy and enforcing such policy. It often really does depend on the venue.

How can I obtain a press pass?

Press passes are usually only given to accredited press, but this tour North American fans are given the chance to obtain a press pass. You can read all about it here: http://forums.redhotchilipeppers.com/index.php?topic=52600.0

Please note: a press pass does NOT mean you get to go backstage.

Whom do I contact for an interview with the band for my newspaper/magazine/website?

Requests for interviews with the band can be made to the local Warner Brothers publicity person in your territory.

Can the band dedicate a song to....

Asking the band to dedicate a song to someone is something they can't really do. The same goes for asking the band to perform for charity or as a special dedication. If they say yes to one person they will have to say yes to everybody, which would just be impossible. As much as they feel for the person(s) involved it is not possible to respond to each and every request made; remember they have millions of fans worldwide.

Can the band or a bandmember sign something for...

Asking the band or a particular band member to send an autographed picture/item is something they can't really do. If they say yes to one person they will have to say yes to everybody, which would just be impossible. They would be signing things all day long as they have millions of fans. Again like mentioned above with the song dedication; as much as they feel for the person(s) involved it is not possible to respond to each and every request made.

Can we email the band or individual band members?

No. While the band would love to have contact with the fans, it is impossible to answer the high volume of emails they would receive. The band's schedule is very demanding and they simply would not have time to read and reply.
